Record number of tourists in Munich
(9.9.2005) Munich is on course to set a slew
of new tourism records in 2005. That's what the statistics for the
year's first six months are indicating. The number of tourist overnight
stays were up 7% for the period.
Accounting for the rises were the ongoing influxes from central
and eastern Europe and Asia. The numbers of Czech, Chinese and South
Korean tourists increased 35%, 23% and 23% respectively over 2004's
first six months.
One of the year's big draws has proven to be BUGA. Germany's National
Garden Festival is being held until October 9th in Munich's Messestadt
Riem district.
